  • Six reasons to read blogs (like this one)

    I often get people who tell me they are too busy to read blogs in the HR/recruiting space. I just shake my head, because as busy as they might be, I am doing that (and more) every single day. Yes, it’s a conscious effort to do something to enhance my own knowledge, but it has…

  • Recruiting via Referral Bonuses ($12k sound good?)

    I love the idea of referral bonuses as a recruiting tool and I have a proposal in the pipeline for our leadership team to offer referral bonuses for each position (not just “key” ones). I’ve always wanted to write on them but this great post I saw the other day combined two fun topics for…

Check out the short video below where I talk about some of the interesting quotes I heard. (When I tested the video, it played without the lag…

  • Social Media, SHRM, and Curt Midkiff

    SHRM has some work to do to catch up on social media, and a while back they hired a guy named Curt Midkiff to make that happen. You may remember me writing about Curtis before (part one and part two). Well, it’s been six months since his first appearance here, and I thought it was…
